Delimiter.com.au - Real estate agency Raine and Horne recently picked Atmail for its new email platform, serving some 3,500 mailboxes. A choice quote: "[Raine and Horne national IT and strategy manager Paul] Sinclair says the company investigated several options including an in-house mail system and offerings from Google and Microsoft."

Look out, Microsoft and Google. There is a new email player in town, and it's rapidly gaining scale. Suddenly, Australian organisations have a significant third option to run their email systems. Let's hope Atmail can grow strongly and provide a strong local rival to the major international firms.
